The Baltimore Ravens are celebrating this weekend the 10th anniversary of their 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.

The returning championship players will line up to greet the current Ravens as they run on the field at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore to play the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Josh Bynes could be in either group.

Bynes was a second-year linebacker from Auburn when the Ravens beat the 49ers to win the NFL championship. Now he’s Baltimore’s middle linebacker.

“It’s going to be great just seeing a lot of the guys and going through that memory from 10 years ago,” Bynes said. “And it’s crazy it’s been that long, and it’s going to be great, exciting. It’s going to bring a definite good energy to the field on Sunday as we take on the Browns.”

An undrafted rookie in 2011, Bynes spent most of the season on the practice squad and played in one game.

In training camp for the 2012 season, Bynes suffered cracked vertebrae. The Ravens released him, but they brought him back when he had recovered.

Bynes played in 10 games that season, starting the final three regular-season contests with future Hall of Famer Ray Lewis sidelined by an injury. When Lewis returned for the playoffs, Bynes still played in all four postseason games, including the Super Bowl victory over the 49ers, in which he made the contest’s final tackle.

Bynes left the Ravens in 2014 for the Detroit Lions. He came back in 2019, spent 2020 with the Cincinnati Bengals and returned to Baltimore in 2021.

Bynes and kicker Justin Tucker are the only players from the Super Bowl XLVII team still playing for the Ravens.

“You’ve been in this league as long as I’ve been, Tuck has been in, and you’re just going year-by-year, attacking each year, trying to ultimately win a Super Bowl,” Bynes said. “And to, obviously, 10 years later, still be here, still be on this team, it’s just a blessing in itself. I can’t wait to, like I said, see the guys on Sunday.”

Looking back won’t be Bynes’ primary focus on Sunday, though. As Baltimore’s middle linebacker, he’ll be in the thick of the Ravens’ opportunity to beat the Browns.

Cleveland leads the NFL with 1,032 rushing yards this season, and Browns running back Nick Chubb tops the league’s ball-carriers with 649 rushing yards.

“The keys are always to stop the run,” Bynes said. “I feel like every time we play the Browns, they’re always the No. 1 — if not, No. 2 — rushing team in the league, and that’s what’s got to be first and foremost. They’ve got the best two combo running backs in the league in Chubb and (Kareem) Hunt, and, obviously, they each have their own thing that they’re special at. They’re super-hard to tackle, they’re fast, they can catch. It’s going to be a tough task as always, but we’re up for it. And that’s what the AFC North is all about. …

“It’s man-on-man football. When you play against a team like Cleveland, it’s just about beating the guy in front of you. That’s really every Sunday, honestly, but especially this game, for sure. And it’s who wants it more, who’s going to want it until the end. This is AFC North football we’re playing come Sunday, and, obviously, we’re looking forward to it.”

Despite having at least a 10-point lead in every game this season, Baltimore has a 3-3 record to show for 2022. But that’s tied with the Bengals for the lead in the AFC North. The Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers are 2-4.
